Semester Projects
Master students are required to complete two semester projects. The projects are supervised by a professor of the Department or by a professor formally associated with the Department. Most projects are carried out under the guidance of, and in close contact with, a PhD student of the supervising professor. The two semester projects must be carried out with two different professors.
Each semester project should take about half of a student's time during one semester, i.e., about 250 to 300 hours. It is possible to do a semester project in 7 weeks full-time outside a semester, but it is not recommended.
The project includes an oral presentation and a written report, and it is graded.
Students from outside ETH are advised to pick and to start a semester project right at the beginning of their first semester at ETH and to take these projects seriously.
For those who plan to develop electronic circuits and to design printed circuit boards (PCB), there's a course introducing to electrical circuit and PCB-design.
